Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered.

For a while now I have been having the issue that my screen goes black while the game sounds continue for a few seconds and then it re-appears again. This only happens in the actual game, never in the client.

A few times I have minimized the game immediately when this happened and I noticed the message "Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered." in the bottom of my screen.

I've been through 3 different NVIDIA drivers since then and a few LoL patches as well but the problem persists. I use an NVIDIA GTX 580 3GB version which is at most 1 month old now. The issue never occurs in ANY other game, for example Battlefield 3, Crysis 2, SWTOR. None of those games have this issue which is why I am convinced it's related to a LoL patch that introduced some kind of graphics glitch...

okes had that problem aswell...same with other games working like a charm....seems that ur vid card is broken. if u dont beleave me just send a support ticket to nvidia and they will say the same that the vid card is broken.
mine was new though but maybe they will give u a new one.

Somehow I very seriously doubt that a broken videocard would malfunction in a single game.. especially one that requires next to no GPU power. I'm quite sure all games would be acting weird if that was the case.
